Golden Sands

[Rebel]

Going back over some old images I never bothered to processed, here's one I decided to have a go at, C&C welcomed.

Hi Matt, I'm just on iPad at the moment but looks good to me

David, do you find the colors/resolution more dazzling on the iPad?

[Geoff F]

Good clean and crisp surf.

General composition is OK but with that sky I don't think it is a prizewinner. Well worth keeping though.

Hmmm...I am with Geoff on the sky...the scene is beautiful though....

[Rebel]

Thanks all

Hi Matt . Lovely colors and I like the composition very much. Golden sand really draws my attention at the first place and then my eyes go to the rocks and the sea. The sky is not very dominant with soft colors and I think not being dominant goes very well with the scene because if the sky was dominant that would be a crowded composition and my eyes would keep going everywhere in the composition. I like how you PPed the image

Thanks Binnur, I have learned a lot about PP since I took this image originally. I am working through a lot of old shots trying out new techniques I have learned.

I like it and the none dominate sky for me works. This is all about the sand and surf and the sky is just playing a supporting role.

I like it fine, might bump up the saturation a bit maybe.

I think it's a beautiful place, but not your best work. ...of course I realize mother nature held the cards on this one but it's just not doing anything for me.

Sorry Matt, but you've set the bar yourself. Get back out there!
